The Samsun W399 seems to be the first of its kind, especially from a major phone manufacturer. It can go from CDMA or tri-band GSM without powering off. The handset has slots for both RUIM and SIM cards. It also features Bluetooth, a video capable 1.3 megapixel, rotating camera with flash, a MP3 player, and BREW support. This is a really great concept and seems like something that should have been thought of previously, even if the phone has to be a little larger.

Thus far the phone has been FCC approved but there is no word on a US release (I expect not), or pricing.
